Transcript Review - Help, which of the big 3?

[andrewtn]

Andrew,

Sorry if this is a bit rushed, I'm heading out the door in few minutes.

Take a look at this page for resources where to complete the remaining credits you need for the BSBA at TESC: Sources of Credit - Degree Forum Wiki

Also, here are some sample degree plans that might help you: TESC Degree Plans - Degree Forum Wiki

You could easily finish a BSBA through TESC within a year, especially given the credits you already have. Besides using Straighterline, CLEP, DSST, Excelsior Exams, UExcel, TECEP or Penn Foster for those credits you're missing, try Saylor.org for very cheap credits in Business Law, Business Communications and/or Political Science. You could earn 9 credits through Saylor and spend max $150! Also, don't forget about ALEKS.com for the College Algebra credit you need as well as Penn Foster College for Strategic Management (counts as the BSBA capstone at TESC)!

Finally, you mentioned wanting to take the PMP someday. Before I had to change careers, I was going to do this also and had considered taking some courses in order to prep for it. The PMP requires 35 hours of educational prep which can be fulfilled either by taking classes or of course the various "boot camps". You could satisfy this requirement, prep for the exam AND give yourself not only another resume enhancer but also a start on a graduate degree if you finish the graduate certificate in project management through Amberton University: http://www.amberton.edu/Degrees/Certific...t-PM-G.pdf

If I remember correctly each course through Amberton is about $700 so it's actually cheaper than most PMP boot camps and you get more benefit out of the grad cert than the boot camp!

That's all for now, be happy to help more if you have questions at a later time. Good luck!

Thank you for all the info and suggestions on options to earn the credit. I think that once I have the info fro TESC on exactly how my credits transfer I'll build out a plan for how I plan to knock out the remaining credits and then share with you folks to get suggestions on improvements. I'll check out Amberton to see what its about but the large global IT company I work for is putting me through all the training at no cost to me and I do earn PDU's towards the PMP. In fact, I already with through the first 3 days of training a few months ago and earned something like 24 PDUs. The training I have in July is supposed to get me to 35 so that I can sit for the test. Although I don't have my bachelors yet I've been working in the PM role managing projects since around 2006-2007 so I have the required experience.
